Introducing
“It’s just a fad.” That’s what my parents said sometime around the fall of 1985, as they confiscated my duped copy of “The Show”. Some of the lyrics on the B-Side classic song, “La-Di-Da-Di” didn’t agree with what my young parents thought of as parenting.
Luckily, I had stashed several copies in the corner of my closet. Something about it told me it would be misunderstood.
At this point, Hip Hop has raised several generations. This podcast is what we’ve learned, one song at a time.
Created and hosted by Kris Hampton and Devin Dabney, with frequent guest pieces, Hip Hop Taught Me Everything is a Spotify Music + Talk podcast that combines short essays detailing what we’ve learned from a single song, followed by that song in full.
Coming soon.
